This takes place in late 19th century London. Julia works as a waitress and dancer on an airship, while Georgina, her sister, cleans houses. Julia is utterly shocked to come home one evening and find her sister dead. Although Constable Aloysius (Al) Grant gives her as many updates on the case as he'...
Sooner or later, clockwork requires each piece to accept its nature or break. Hearts are no different. I have limited experience with steampunk. Most of what I've stumbled across has been romance of some sort or other, which is fine in its way. But that's why I kept expecting someone to leap into ...
As long as there is science fiction, there will be two subjects of interest - time travel and Atlantis. Robert Appleton addresses both in this unique spin on the question of what would happen if one traveled back in time and discovered the lost continent. The story begins in 1979, goes all the way b...
Another rarity for me - f/f - but this has an interesting twist in that it is actually at its heart a sci-fi novel. I loved the idea of a world stuck on the latest greatest technology to the point of ignoring reality. Allegra starts this quick read as a model at the top of her game. She's in lust/...
I really enjoyed this story. The dinosaurs were every bit as frightening as they should have been, there was a touch of romance, a touch of mystery and lots of interesting characters.

I’m loving the steampunk genre so when I saw this one on NetGalley, I jumped at the chance to read it. I hung in until I was 50% through, and decided to move on. I was not engaged in the story and did not care about the fate of the characters. There were a few cool scenes (when Julia was running fr...
Robert Appleton's "The Mysterious Lady Law" begins very strong. Lady Law is like a female Sherlock Holmes. Scotland Yard dislikes her, because she makes them look bad, but Julie can't turn down Lady Law's help to find her sister's killer.Appletone has some strong world building, but there are times ...
